Module IV
Any interval, up or down, from any note — and every connection from it: when the slide moves, when only the lips do.

7 semitones · 5 letter names counted (ascending) · sounds like the start of Twinkle Twinkle (“Twin-kle, twin-kle”)
h = harmonic number. T = with the thumb trigger (F attachment). ↑ = a naturally flat harmonic: nudge the slide in. Outlined cards are where the smart route leaves the textbook.

Columns are slide positions (T = trigger); rows are harmonics.first note,second note — every place each one lives. The ringed pair is the smart connection. Same column = lip slur (no slide move); the further apart the columns, the more the slide travels. Harmonic 7 is greyed: it sits about a third of a semitone flat.
every connection from B♭
Each interval up and down from this note: the textbook positions, and the smart alternative where one saves real movement. Green = a lip slur: same slide position, only the lips change. Tap a row to make it the interval above, or ▶ to hear it.
